    Summary

    Delayed diagnosis is common in male breast cancer. Modified radical mastectomy offers adequate local control and staging without compromising survival compared to radical mastectomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Male Breast Cancer Research

    Background:

    • Primary breast carcinoma in men is rare.
    • Historical treatment approaches for male breast cancer varied significantly.
    • Understanding long-term outcomes is crucial for optimizing patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of different surgical treatments for male breast carcinoma.
    • To assess survival rates and local recurrence following mastectomy.
    • To determine if modified radical mastectomy is a suitable alternative to radical mastectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 50 male patients with primary breast carcinoma treated between 1938-1983.
    • Review of treatment modalities including simple, modified radical, and radical mastectomy.
    • Analysis of survival data and local recurrence rates based on surgical intervention.

    Main Results:

    • A significant delay in seeking medical advice was observed (mean 21 months).
    • Survival rates were comparable across simple, modified radical, and radical mastectomy groups.
    • Local recurrence occurred in 25% of patients, independent of the surgical procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • Modified radical mastectomy provides adequate local control and staging for male breast cancer.
    • It achieves survival outcomes similar to radical mastectomy.
    • Early medical consultation is essential for improving outcomes in male breast cancer.
